How families pay for independent living in Arizona

Most families in Arizona pay for assisted living, memory care and independent living with private funds, often drawing on savings, retirement income and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a parent or spouse purchased a policy years ago, can also help cover the monthly cost, though the amount and terms vary by policy. Veterans and surviving spouses who meet the eligibility rules may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that adds a monthly payment on top of a standard VA pension and can be applied toward the cost of care.
